Yosemite Summit 2010

By Popular Demand, we have created a similar event for women hosted by Kim Bobb, Pastor to Children & Their Families at New Albany First Church of the Nazarene.

May 18th - 20th, 2009
(Monday - Wednesday)
Circleville, Ohio

It is called UNBRIDLED. (Yes, horses included!)

Dates: Monday through Wednesday

Location: This retreat takes place at 3P Ranch in Circleville, Ohio, about 40 miles South of Columbus.

Riding: We will be riding horses at a horse training and riding ranch. We will have time for lots of learning and fun together.  Don’t let your inexperience keep you from joining us on this trip.  There will be plenty of time to get acquainted with the horses.

Lodging: Included! We will stay at the Holiday Inn Express located in Circleville, Ohio.  Reservations will be made for you when you register.  This cost is included in your registration fee.

Meals: All meals will be included in your registration price with the exception of lunch on Monday.  Please feel free to bring snacks with you.

We will meet at the Holiday Inn Express at 10:30am on Monday, May 18th and travel together to 3P Ranch.  We will stop on the way for lunch.  Please come dressed to ride as we will be doing so upon arriving to the Ranch.

Below is a suggested list of what to bring to Unbridled. Here are some of the guidelines to keep in mind, in the spirit of “stepping away from ministry”.

What to bring:

• CLOTHES
  • Jeans (at least 3 pair)
  • Wind-breaker water-proof jacket
  • Casual pants, evening pants (sweats, PJs)
  • Boots for riding with a flat heel
  • Casual shoes for evening/travel
  • Riding Helmet (suggested but not required)
  • T-shirts, sweat shirts for riding and sitting by the fire
  • Cotton Socks (several pair)
  • Underwear (do I really need to list this?)
  • Synthetic long underwear optional- depending on the weather
  • Bathing Suit (for pool at hotel)
  • Hat suggested (ball cap or cowboy hat)
  • Sunglasses, perhaps with lanyard
  • Personal toiletries (tooth brush!)
  • Back Pack to take items to and from the ranch
  • Minor First Aid items
  • ANY personal medication
  • NOTE: bedding and towels ARE provided, but you are welcome to bring your own towels or pillow if you are sentimentally attached or need the lingering scent of your hubby.
• EQUIPMENT (required)
  • Riding Boots with a flat heel
  • Jeans
• EQUIPMENT (recommended)
  • iPod / MP3 Player (charger)
  • Digital Camera
  • Extra memory cards
  • Memory card reader
  • Thumb Drive for sharing pics
  • Extra batteries
  • Sun Block
  • Poncho (thin, small)
  • Bug Spray
  • Back Pack
• EQUIPMENT OPTIONAL
  • Video camera (if small, but we will have a group video camera for highlight video)
  • Saddle and Saddle Pads (will be provided if you do not own)
  • Power Strip (for charging items)
  • Cell Phone / Charger (cell coverage rare)
  • Batteries (as needed)
• RETREAT ITEMS
  • Bible (small and portable)
  • Pens
  • Journal
• FOOD
  • All meals from Monday dinner through Wednesday lunch are included.
  • Feel free to bring drinks and snacks with you.
  • Water bottles are highly recommended. You will need to drink a lot of water.
• CELL PHONES
  • There is little to very little cell coverage in Circleville and where there is, it is sporadic. There is NONE at the Ranch. Other than emergencies, calls will be restricted to Husbands/family. A few cell phones will be carried on the rides for emergency use only. We are turning off the outside world; but having phones available for emergencies is simply wise, and calling our husbands is simply kind.

What NOT to bring:

• Work - of any kind!
• Laptops computers / PDAs. (leave it behind)
• There WILL BE a computer at the hotel for the SOLE PURPOSE of downloading your digital pictures from the day. Each attendee will get a CD of their photography, and of the others willing to share.
• Work - worth mentioning again - that is the whole point of this retreat, you are not the sum of your work, you are a child of God and this is a retreat for reconnecting the woman with God, not the worker.
• Reading material - No children’s ministry or leadership books allowed! It is fine if you want to bring a book that deals with your walk with God but even just a Bible is perfectly fine! You are not coming to improve your ministry or leadership skills, you are coming on this retreat to get closer to God.

• We have spots for 6 women to join us on this adventure.
• The Cost is $500 per person.  This price includes all riding, lodging, a T-shirt and meals from Dinner Monday to Lunch on Wednesday.
